A PARRY ISSUE.
That's What is Desired TO be m ade
OF the High Ascense Questior.

OF the High License Question.
A party issue is what high license is to be
before the legislature this winter, according
to the discussion over the two bills before
JOINT meeting of the senate and house
special temperance committees last evening
in the senate judiciary rooms. Gordon f.
Cole had drawn up two high license bills,
both alike, and one of these Senator Dan
iels, of Omsted, introduced into the senate,
and Representative l.. H. Prosser, OF Fill
more, the other into the house. both being
introduced simultaneously. so as to facili-
tate passage. They provide for minimum
licenses Of 81, 600 in cities of 10000 popu-
lation and over, and of $500 in cities, vii
lagos ond towns of less than 10, 600 popula-
ton and in the country, but no
maximum limit is set and pro-
hlbition is made locally optional.
These were the bills under consideration,
and general sympathy with them was ap-
parent. for representatives from the anti
saloon Republicans. Law and Order league
and Catholic Total Abstinence union were
present in the persons of William LOUIS
Kelly, Dr.. Dana, A. F. Talmadge, C. W.
Hackett. j. f. Carrere and Agent John
Smith,. Maj. A. c. Houghton. of Minneap-
oils, also being present
YIN MI. nelly suggestion Tile Dill was
amended to make the licenses the same for
a fraction of year as for a year, and to
have them expire twenty days after a local
election.
Mr.. Kelly then showed his true position
! as representative of the anti-saloon Re-
publicans. He advised the gentlemen
/ present to make high license a party issue
as Republicans who were elected on high
license platform, and to fight it out on that
line. He told them he had left the Demo-
| cratic party because he was a high license
man. and he treated his audience to a little
! oratory about human slavery in the
past, instituting a comparison between
negro slavery with the slavery pro-
duced by the unrestricted traffic in
liquor of the present day. his
comparison being TO show that the present
slave was worse off than the slave of ante
bellum days, and he advised them to sup
port the bill soldly to man as measure
of good faith, of honor and of justice.
Representative Keyes. of Faribault,
wanted the license fixed at S500-lnake
that the maximum as well as the minimum
limit because he anticipated, if it is left
as the bill proposes, the raising or lowering
of the license will enter into politics with
undesirable effects in its influence upon the
fitness of candidates that will be nominated
on either side of the local license issue.
The record of Faribault. through proibi-
ton. low license and $500 license, he re-
viewed, and he argued that the present
$500 license, which had remained fixed, had
given better satisfaction than anything else.
Mr.. Reyes wanted the penalty to be inn
prisenment, not fines, because inen could

pool together and pay fines in their fight
against prosecution.
J. T. Carrere of the Catholic Total Alb
stinence union. was in hearty sympathy
with the bill, and advised the Republicans
to push it through as party measure.
| Maj. A. c. Houghtoh, of Minneapolis.
thought special reference should be made
to the Minneapolis city charter or any
other charter of similar character. In his
opinion it would be necessary 10 do so in
order to make the bill apply to the city OF
Minneapolis. He was also i'll favor of a
fixed license.
Senator Colnstock explained that notwith-
standing what the Minneapolis charter might
] say to the contrary, il the bill became state
law, its restrictions and penalties would
apply to offenders in Minneapolis as we'll as
elsewhere. and Senator Goodrich counseled
against overlooking the bill with little
amendments. and he predicted that it would
be fought hard and amended enough as it
is when it caine into committee of the
whole, so it would be better to make it as
simple as possible. Senator Daniels argued
in favor OF leaving the bill as it is, to stand
upon its own merits as simple high license
! measure, so as to make every legislator
fight on that simple issue and nothing else.
Finally the committee decided to simnl-
/ taneOusly report the bills back in the re-
spectve branches of the legislature with
recommendation TO pass.

An Exciting Eive-NEiie Contest at the
Palace Grounds.-.A Half.Mile
Dash.
Two very exciting amateur snow shoe
races occurred on the carnival grounds yes
terday afternoon, which were witnessed by
a good share of those in attendance. The
first was tive-mile race, in which the en-
tries were William Twohy and j. Twohy,

race were E. Gberton. A. H. Hornsby and
r. Wisnom, of the st. George club; J.
Chisholm, of the Duluth Snow Shoe club;
Frank Shaw, of the Colombia, and j. B.

tory.
| Special to the Globe.
| WASHINGTON. Jan. ga novel rail-
way scheme is proposed in bill introduced
| in the house by Delegate Bean, of Arizona.
! A s. Indicate of Western capitalists, princ-
pally st. Louis men, associated under the
title of the limited States Railway Com
| pany." want to build railroad north and
south along the Rocky Mountains from the
/ boundary line between the Northwest Terri
tory and the United States to the Mexican
! boundary. They propose to cross the
| Northern Pacific at BoZeman, then go down
| along the Madison river. over the divide to
the headwaters of the Snake river, pro-
coed south to Soda Springs. in Idaho, then
ON down into Utah to Salt Lake
City, thence on south to the
best crossing they can find over the grand
canon of the Colorado, over the White
mountains along the ella river to junction
with the Southern Pacific and then on to
| the Mexican boundary or to Ell Paso,
| Texas, with branch running to Tucson
and the Mexican boundary. The business
headquarters of this road are to be in New
York, with branches in Washington. New
Orleans and San Francisco. Stock books
| will be opened in all the large cities and
general subscriptions solicited. The capital
stock of the company is to consist of $50
600. 900. which when fully paid up is unas-
sessable. Full right of way is asked over
the public domain 300 feet OH each side of
the track, to be exempt from taxation. with
station grounds of 500 acres of land every
five miles. Provision is made IN the charter
that donations of money or grants of land
from any state or territory or county or city
along the route may be accepted. The con-
struction OF the road is to begin within three
years from the passage of the act, and the
syndicate obligates itself to build not less
than ten miles of road each year after the
| construction begins. and to complete the
whole road within twenty years. The whole
line is to be divided into five sec
tons of about 800 miles each. to
be called the Canadian, Northern,
Central Southern and Mexican sections
Bonds are authorized at the rate of $50. 600
per mile. There will be some exceedingly
difficult problems of engineering along the
route as proposed. especially the bridging of
the grand canon of the Colorado. What
possible foundation there could be for BUSH
ness over the mountains and desert tracts
embraced in such route it is hard to see.
There would, however. be opened up some
valuable grazing plateaus now inaccessible
and not used.
